week 15

this is me and my auntie claudia (i promised her a pic way back in week 5); i'm wearing the outfit she got me for christmas...

i've got a little more growing to fill out these pants, but gimme a few more weeks and i'll get there :o)

this is me at my first birthday party...i was resting up so i could get my par-tay on...

this is xzander the birthday boy...he's my future running buddy at church...the party was at smith playhouse and boy was it fun.

his dad was helping him blow out his candle.

this is me telling dad all about the party and how much fun i had.

we had a busy week, but mom kept forgetting to bring the camera...like when i went to work with her on wednesday...she weighed me in the nutrition and growth lab, and i was 14 pounds (really it was 13lbs 15.9 ounces, but who's counting).

then we went to the school of nursing...mom and i were on a panel with 9 other moms and their kids talking about their birth and breastfeeding experiences. it was for a good cause...to help educate jr and sr level nursing students on how to take care of moms and their babies.

it had to be a good cause because we went there instead of a playdate with all of mom's doctoral nursing student friends who had babies last year too. it was 5 of them all together...and guess what...they all had boys. mom thinks someone should study that...maybe there's something in the water???

so here's a picture of all my buddies (noah, jude, vittorio, and conor). i'm looking forward to next time guys.

i also took my first trip to reading terminal (again mom forgot the camera...she's got to do better). i got to meet sis. karen from san antonio and sis. carmen from jacksonville...i woke up just in time for sis. karen to snap a picture of me, so when she sends it to mom, i'll tell her to post it.

i also went to lunch with my aunties monica and claudia, but i was alseep and missed the whole thing (although i did hear them talking about how good the chicken wings were). then i went to manayunk for the first time. mom went to belly and bought a new diaper bag and some shoes for me (again no pix...let's start a petition).

speaking of shoes...my auntie 'meak (my real aunt, daddy's sister tomeka) sent us girl scout cookies this week and a pair of black patent leather shoes for me...woohoo, can't wait to take those puppies for a spin (the shoes that is). i gotta give her a shout out (and all her friends at shands-jacskonville hospital who check me out every week)...thanks for all the love!

mom took lots of pix on sunday to make up for the lack thereof this week. maybe she was giving me a break afte my 2 hour photo shoot with ms. joy...who knows
